似乎许多其他帖子都关心速度(即最好=最快)。 简单性怎么样?考虑:

char ReverseBits(char character) {
    char reversed_character = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
        char ith_bit = (c >> i) & 1;
        reversed_character |= (ith_bit << (sizeof(char) - 1 - i));
    }
    return reversed_character;
}

并希望聪明的编译器将为您优化。

如果你想反转一个更长的位列表(包含sizeof(char) * n位)，你可以使用这个函数得到:

void ReverseNumber(char* number, int bit_count_in_number) {
    int bytes_occupied = bit_count_in_number / sizeof(char);      

    // first reverse bytes
    for (int i = 0; i <= (bytes_occupied / 2); i++) {
        swap(long_number[i], long_number[n - i]);
    }

    // then reverse bits of each individual byte
    for (int i = 0; i < bytes_occupied; i++) {
         long_number[i] = ReverseBits(long_number[i]);
    }
}

这将把[10000000,10101010]反向转换为[01010101,00000001]。

通用的

C代码。以1字节输入数据num为例。

    unsigned char num = 0xaa;   // 1010 1010 (aa) -> 0101 0101 (55)
    int s = sizeof(num) * 8;    // get number of bits
    int i, x, y, p;
    int var = 0;                // make var data type to be equal or larger than num

    for (i = 0; i < (s / 2); i++) {
        // extract bit on the left, from MSB
        p = s - i - 1;
        x = num & (1 << p);
        x = x >> p;
        printf("x: %d\n", x);

        // extract bit on the right, from LSB
        y = num & (1 << i);
        y = y >> i;
        printf("y: %d\n", y);

        var = var | (x << i);       // apply x
        var = var | (y << p);       // apply y
    }

    printf("new: 0x%x\n", new);

当然，玩弄比特的黑客的明显来源是: http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#BitReverseObvious

另一个基于循环的解决方案，在数量较低时快速退出(在c++中用于多种类型)

template<class T>
T reverse_bits(T in) {
    T bit = static_cast<T>(1) << (sizeof(T) * 8 - 1);
    T out;

    for (out = 0; bit && in; bit >>= 1, in >>= 1) {
        if (in & 1) {
            out |= bit;
        }
    }
    return out;
}

或者C语言中unsigned int

unsigned int reverse_bits(unsigned int in) {
    unsigned int bit = 1u << (sizeof(T) * 8 - 1);
    unsigned int out;

    for (out = 0; bit && in; bit >>= 1, in >>= 1) {
        if (in & 1)
            out |= bit;
    }
    return out;
}

我的简单解决方案

BitReverse(IN)
    OUT = 0x00;
    R = 1;      // Right mask   ...0000.0001
    L = 0;      // Left mask    1000.0000...
    L = ~0; 
    L = ~(i >> 1);
    int size = sizeof(IN) * 4;  // bit size

    while(size--){
        if(IN & L) OUT = OUT | R; // start from MSB  1000.xxxx
        if(IN & R) OUT = OUT | L; // start from LSB  xxxx.0001
        L = L >> 1;
        R = R << 1; 
    }
    return OUT;

下面这个怎么样:

    uint reverseMSBToLSB32ui(uint input)
    {
        uint output = 0x00000000;
        uint toANDVar = 0;
        int places = 0;

        for (int i = 1; i < 32; i++)
        {
            places = (32 - i);
            toANDVar = (uint)(1 << places);
            output |= (uint)(input & (toANDVar)) >> places;

        }


        return output;
    }

小而简单(不过只有32位)。
